MIDI SEND CHANNEL
MIDI RECEIVE CHANNEL
Bsc,
The YPR-9 is a MIDI keyboard, so you can play it together with other MIDI instruments.
You can play another instrument from the YPR-9 keyboard, or vice versa.
MIDI Connections
Use a MIDI cable and connect the MIDI IN
and MIDI OUT Jacks on the rear panel of the
YPR-9 to the MIDI OUT and MIDI IN Jacks of
another MIDI instrument, rhythm machine,
computer or sequencer.
1. MIDI channels
MIDI has 16 channels for 'sending' and
"receiving" data. Each channel can be set to
send and/or receive data.
In the default mode (when the power is turned
on), all 16 MIDI channels can receive data
(OMNI ON). Data can be sent only on channel
1. However, specific MIDI send and receive
channels can also be designated as follows.
e Setting the send channel
To set the MIDI send channel, hold down the
MIDI/TRANSPOSE
Button and press any of the
16 keys between C: and D*». Each key cor-
responds to one MIDI channel, in order from
the lowest to the highest.
* Setting the receive channel
Holding down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE
Button,
first press the As key (OMNI OFF), then press
any of the 16 keys between Cs and D*s. Each
key corresponds to one MIDI channel, in order
from the lowest to the highest.
2. Local On and Local Off
Hold down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE
Button and
press the A*s key to activate LOCAL OFF, dis-
connecting the keyboard from the tone gener-
ation circuitry. Repeat the procedure to
activate LOCAL ON, which reconnects the
keyboard and tone generation circuitry.
